Chicken Cobbler Recipe

Introduction

Chicken Cobbler is a comforting, hearty dish that combines tender chicken, savory vegetables, and a cheesy biscuit topping. It’s an easy one-pan meal perfect for cozy dinners or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
• 14 oz frozen vegetables
• 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375º F. Place the butter in a 13×9 inch baking pan and put it in the oven as it heats. Leave it until the butter has melted completely.
2. Step 2: Remove the pan from the oven once the butter is melted. Spread the chopped chicken evenly over the melted butter, then layer the frozen vegetables evenly on top of the chicken. Be careful not to mix the layers.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, including the seasoning packet, with the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour this mixture over the vegetables, spreading gently into an even layer without stirring.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and garlic powder. Pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit topping. Do not mix.
5. Step 5: Bake the cobbler for 45-50 minutes until the biscuit crust is golden brown, firm to the touch, and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let it cool for a minute or two before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to the chicken mixture for extra flavor.
• Substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables for a fresher taste.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or smoked paprika into the biscuit mix.
• Use low-sodium chicken broth and cream of chicken soup to control salt levels.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350º F until warmed through to help keep the biscuit topping crisp. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh chicken instead of cooked chicken?

It’s best to use cooked chicken so the filling stays tender and the cooking time for the cobbler is accurate. If using raw chicken, cook it thoroughly first before assembling the cobbler.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the cobbler in the baking dish and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it’s heated through.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375º F to prepare for baking the cobbler.

Notes

• Do not stir the layers after assembling to maintain distinct textures and flavors.
• Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
• If you prefer a thicker filling, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the soup mixture.
